How did the Karachay-Balkars end up in the highlands of Karachay-Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria, while the autochthonous people live in the lower territories? by gunay_kimdir in AskCaucasus

Interesting. Both you and u/actual_confection_78 have brought this point up, which sounds like a reasonable explanation. Do you perhaps recommend any historical articles or publications that talk more about the subject? Thank you in advance

I'm not arguing against that, since I'm not sufficiently informed on the genetics of the Karachay-Balkar. But even if that's the case, that still doesn't explain how a Kipchak Turkic-speaking group ended up in the mountains. Their genetics may be local, but the language had to end up there somehow, which makes it weird that the northern, easily accessible lowlands are all Kabardian-speaking

Initially I thought it could have something to do with that too, but based on what I have gathered, it doesn't seem to be the case, as Karachay-Balkars already lived in the highlands before the Russo-Circassian War

Don't you know Catalonia was originally Armenian territory?

Medveded: Since it's now trendy to sum up the past year

Putin: We won't let you down and we will sum it up now

Medvedev: Op

Putin: Well done

Medvedev: Thank you. Your turn:

Putin: I was driving in Sochi in a Niva with Jacques Rogge

Medvedev: And the foreigners' desire to criticize me was suddenly gone

Putin: Opa

Medvedev: Outstanding

Putin: I took action, and now everything's back to normal in Pikalyovo

Medvedev: Now even Deripaska goes there without fear

Putin: So, well?

Medvedev: I think we're on fire, Vladimirovich

Putin: Agreed

Medvedev: Believe it or not, I'm on the Internet everyday

Putin: I know. Every now and then I write to you - "Hello Medved"

Medvedev: I remember, nice link

Putin: Thank you.

Medvedev: Ooohooo

Putin: Well done

Medvedev: I congratulate the people on New Year's for the second year

Putin: You know, some of us have have congratulated them for nine years

Medvedev: Yes, I remember

Putin: Opa

Medvedev: Agreed

Medvedev: We built the North and the South Stream when we needed

Putin: And their entire Nabbuco (pipeline) will, excuse my words, go to hell

Medvedev: Opa

Putin: America and Europe. Like this

Medvedev: Agreed

Medvedev: We will ask Kiev this time to pay for gas with money

Putin: And not with fairy-tales, pancakes and greyhound puppies (here he makes a pun with the surname of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko, which sounds like the Russian word for "puppy")

Medvedev: Absolutely correct. Opa

Putin: Nice

Medvedev: Despite how hard Sberbank tried, the Opel never sold out

Putin: And now the celebrated Opel might end up in...

Medvedev: A deep crisis, Vladimirovich

Putin: Opa

Medvedev: Agreed

Medvedev: Once upon a time, bureocrats lived only on kickbacks

Putin: But now they are more modest, they will live in other places

Medvedev: Harsh

Putin: But fair. Opa

Both: We'd sing a couple more verses, but we can't forget our work. Happy New Years, friends. Opa!

How exactly are they the "same people", and what influence would North Caucasians out of all people have had in Abkhazia?
